Default big boost with wiseco pistons
How many of you are running wiseco pistons with 20 psi of boost? What comp ratio, and do you need the tool steel wrist pins?

I have run the wiseco pistons for years. I do use the tool steel wrist pins, cheap insurance IMHO as you can see from my sig it is a stout setup. Most of the top cars use them, Ohio Boys, Mark Carlyle

Wiseco pistons are very strong and can handle a lot of boost. I would not hesitate to hit them with big boost, we have made over 1000rwhp with them multiple times!

I talked to a couple guys at wiseco about the pistons I have which are the turbo duty ones. They said they are good to well over 900rwhp.

Even then, that's probably on the very safe conservative side.
